So Lionel has a good website now with a complete list. Here's the catch - when the "new" cards came out with Lionel in wave 1, they were Lionel Wave 1 of 2016, but still 2015 cars. 2016 cars did not start until wave 4. So the year of the release does not line up with the NASCAR racing season. They started putting the wave number on wave 2. Everyone confused yet?

Based on that, here is the Lionel releases by racing year, waves 1-7 and the new throwback wave:

I have had the 2nd release for Chase Elliot from last years run for awhile, but Mrs Fox had snagged it for a Christmas stocking stuffer - before I got it photographed and catalogued. So here is the Wave 4 group photo from that card back. :cheers2:

I think we are getting about every 3rd or 4th wave up here in Alaska. I saw some wave 5 and 6 on the shelves, no 7 or throwback, then the wave 8, and I saw some wave 10 yesterday. Picked up the throwback ones, since they do look good. I may go find that throwback series on eBay, since they are catching my eye.

Are the cars in the small boxes labeled "Action" the same cars as NASCAR Authentics? There are a few that I can't find in NASCAR Authentics, but found on eBay in the Action boxes. I open them up so, the packaging isn't that important.
